and it makes you wonder who the real enemy is in the eyes of the current administration.....seems to me they have it ass-backwards. They are more worried about the rights of extremists that freaking HATE the US as opposed to the people that love this country more than most.

I am going to get a bald spot from all the head scratching I have been doing and will be doing for sure over the next 3+ years

Those out of countties extemists dont vote.

While I have old glory flying at the house, sing along with the national anthem at ball games, have parade float celebrating Independence Day( thats July, 4th for those on the left) and all the other things I do to love and support my country I am baffled that I may be on a terror watch list.

According to the current folks, it is anyone that doesn't agree with them. Just checkout Janet Napolitano's list ie. returning servicemen and others!

And, you have to wonder which side the President Of the United States is on. I sure do as he has not demonstated anything that would indicate that he is serious about our security. If we are not attached domestically, could it be because Islamic terrorist support and like him? Do they view him as a foothold on the USA in their quest for world domination?

I would have thought that you'd be one of the first here to speak up and say profiling is wrong, no mater what side is being profiled.

Isn't that what I just said? Profiling has been going on for a long time. A black man in a white nieghborhood, any van with NC plates going up I-95 towards NY (cigarettes), any car with CA, FL, or IL plates going trough NM (drugs), a young hispanic driving a Camry (must be stolen). When I was a teenager in NV the cops would shake you down 'jess cause'.

You're just twitchin' now cause it's your Ox getting gored this time.

Don't blame the actions of every peckerhead cop on Washington.

Police make profile stops all the time. The guy was stopped because he fit the current profile model. He was detained, checked out and released. Happens all the time boys.
I don't believe profile stops of vehicles is right. No matter what the profile parameters may be. We've chosen to give this power to law enforcement.
We have no one to blame but ourselves if it is misdirected.

Furthermore I doubt the veracity of a story where the only source is an un-named 'relative'.

If they had stopped a black guy because he looked like a drug dealer or a Hispanic in a van for suspected illegal smuggling you would be raising holy hell.
